Ingredients
- 4 cups penne pasta
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 pound pork sausage (I prefer Jimmy Deans)
- 4 ounces pepperoni
- 1/2 green bell pepper , chopped
- 1 small onion , chopped
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 can sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1 small can sliced black olives
- 24 ounce jar marinara pasta sauce (or homemade pizza sauce*)
- 1 to 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Cook penne pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Brown ground beef and sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove grease.
- Combine: Add cooked meat to a large mixing bowl. Add pepperoni, bell pepper, onion, parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic, mushroom and olives. Add noodles and pasta sauce then toss to combine.
- Bake: Pour mixture into a greased 9x13'' pan. Sprinkle 1-2 cups of mozzarella cheese on top, (depending on how much cheese you like). Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-35 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.

Notes
- Make Ahead Instructions: Assemble the casserole, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours. Remove plastic wrap and bake as directed.
- Freezing Instructions: Assemble casserole in a freezer-safe baking dish.Cover with a double layer of aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw completely in the fridge overnight then bake as directed. (Tip: I like to add extra sauce to the pasta if freezing it, since the noodles naturally soak some of it up as it freezes).
